This example demonstrates how to add a cache to an aspect engine.The fiftyone.pipeline.engines module comes with an implementation of a Least Recently Used (lru) cache that can be used in place of the custom cache created in this example.
To construct the lru cache pass in a size (in entries) parameter to its constructor.
let lruCache = new engine.lruCache(100);
